Chapter 1 Introduction

Getting to Know the Modem

This section contains a quick description of the Modem’s lights, ports, etc.

The Modem has several indicator lights (LEDs) on its front panel and a series of

ports on its rear panel.

Front Panel

The front panel of the Modem features four lights: Power, DSL, Internet, and

Ethernet.

Power Light

The Power light displays the Modem’s current status. If the Power light glows

steadily green, the Modem is receiving power and fully operational. When the

Power light is rapidly flashing, the Modem is initializing. If the Power light glows

red when the Power cord is plugged in, the Modem has suffered a critical error

and technical support should be contacted.

DSL Light

The DSL light illuminates when the Modem is connected to a DSL line and the

unit is able to synchronize to the DSL signal from the ISP. When it flashes, the

Modem’s built-in DSL modem is training for the DSL service.

Internet Light

When the Internet light glows steadily, the Modem is connected to the

DSL provider.

Ethernet Light

The Ethernet light illuminates when the Modem is connected to a computer via

its yellow Ethernet port.

Rear Panel

The rear panel of the Modem features three ports (DSL, Ethernet, and Power), as

well as a Reset switch.

Ethernet Port

The Ethernet port is used to connect a computer to the Modem via Ethernet

cable. The Ethernet port is a 10/100 Mbps auto-sensing port, and either a

straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable can be used when connecting to

the port.

DSL Port

The DSL port is used to connect the Modem to a DSL (Digital Subcriber Line)

connection.

light will turn from green to orange.

Power Port

The Power port is used to connect the Power cord to the Modem.

MWarning:Do not unplug the Power cord from the Modem dur-

ing the reset process. Doing so may result in permanent damage

to the Modem.
